Answer:

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration forever unless something interrupts.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two distinct and opposite metabolical processes undergone by living cells. They are opposite processes because one utilizes the products of the other as reactants.

Photosynthesis is a unique process to autotrophic organisms like plants. It is the process whereby plants synthesize their food in form of organic molecules (glucose) by combining Carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of sunlight.

The overall equation of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6+ 6O2

On the other hand, cellular respiration is the process whereby living cells obtain energy (ATP) by breaking down food molecules (glucose) using oxygen to produce carbondioxide (CO2) and water as products. The overall equation is:

C6H12O6 + 602 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the lab experiments, it can be concluded that Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration because photosynthesis recycles/reuses the products of cellular respiration, which are C02 and H2O while cellular respiration recycles/reuses the products of photosynthesis, which are C6H12O6 and O2. This process occurs naturally in the environment and will continue to do so unless something interupts.

Option B is incorrect because light energy from the sun powers photosynthesis while option C is incorrect because photosynthesis transforms light energy to chemical energy while cellular respiration transforms chemical energy to thermal energy.

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.

Papessa [141]

$\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}$

Aerobic respiration :- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

That is, 

Aerobic respiration is takes place in four stages :-

Glycolysis
The link reaction
The Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3>Whereas, </h3>

Anaerobic respiration :- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

In human muscles,  Lactic acid + Energy
In yeast, Ethanol + CO2 + Energy

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

In which group is parthenogenesis a normal event?

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Bees

Explanation:

Parthenogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction in which an egg cell develops into a new individual without fertilization. Parthenogenesis occurs in insects, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and in some plants. Most of the organisms which reproduces through parthenogenesis, they also reproduce sexually. Parthenogenesis may be occurs by apomixis and by automixis. In apomixis, egg is produced by mitosis and results into diploid clones. In automixis egg is produced by meiosis and the haploid egg develops into diploid new individual by the duplication of chromosomes. Parthenogenesis is an adaptation which allows to reproduce in adverse environmental conditions when sexual reproduction is not possible.
